Emily VanDerEems hello! lol My teacher was on maternity leave for the portion on the years of the Gilded Age and Western Expansion, so.....yay for making low-production quality/budget documentaries? Anyway....I really need this video
Ah yes, Late-night cramming the day before the APUSH exam is a most joyous pass time in which sleep eludes you and the feeling of unpreparedness slips away in a bought a euphoria as you listen to the melodious voice of John Green.
To learn about US history because the only thing I learned in my country about the US is that it gained independence in 1776... which doesn't tell me ANYTHING about what happened after that.
Nikko Kelaidis Yep. I for the most part agree with the idea of not holding a group responsible for the actions of their forefathers... But if you are white & can watch all of these & not feel any hint of “Well that was WRONG,” then I fully agree with the idea there is something wrong with you.
... I DEADASS FORGOT HE WROTE BOOKS!! I read all of them a few years ago and then high school hit i I replaced John green fiction with John green crash course
+孙明亮 It is a test for Advanced Placement classes. They are sponsered by "The College Board" and are considered the highest level of classes in American high schools. At the end of the class you take a test to determine how well you did in the class.
That is true. It's probably one of my all time favorite books. But on the note of Crash Course, thanks for refreshing my memory on APUSH for my midterm.
This is such a great boon as a supplemental educational resource, that is neither dry nor boring. Thanks CC team for creating such an entertaining, informative, and enjoyable series of educational videos for the knowledge-enthusiasts in a manner that enhances our joy of learning !
Fun fact: In "The Wizard of Oz" the cowardly lion is a representation of a single person - William J. Bryan, as opposed to allusions to whole classes (Scarecrow - farmers, Tin Man - industrial workers and such)
The US tends to go through rises and falls of equality. It's well established we're in a second gilded age by most economists like Krugman. The reason why we're in a second gilded age is due to capital accumulation from automation and labor saving technologies, the same thing that happened in the industrial age. Only this time, we're experiencing rising inequality from the computer and AI revolutions. It will likely end in another great depression. Bubbles can't last forever and eventually pop.
I'm not actually here because of apush, I'm here because I have a college us history class, zero energy to finish the chapter, and an entire damn essay due 😭😭
Watching this series has helped me appreciate how recent all of these events and changes have taken place. The causes and effects feel obviously connected to my life in a way I couldn't appreciate before. All of this makes me incredibly excited and terribly nervous for the not yet written history of our nation and the world.
So I recently (and by recent I mean, like two days ago) taught my students about Populism and the Gilded Age by analyzing the Wizard of Oz and the ways in which it represents various aspects of this era. In all of my research of this connection, I've never found any evidence that L. Frank Baum actually wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz as a metaphor for this period. In fact, I've read that he was asked straight out about it and responded by saying no, it's just a children's story. However, the story is a very close representation. Like, too much to be coincidence. I was wondering what your opinion was, as an author. I know that once everything is said and done, books belong to their readers, but do you 1)subscribe to the interpretation of TWWoO as a metaphor for populism and the Gilded Age, 2)do you believe LFB really did just write it as a children's story or was he simply saying that so as not to attract criticism from his contemporaries, and 3)is it possible to project our own interpretations onto a story to the extent that we could potentially bastardize an author's intention? -Kellen
Kellen Holowicki -- I'm in the same camp, Kellen. Here's an article for folks who are interested: www.shsu.edu/his_rtc/2014_FALL/Wizard_of_Oz_Littlefield.pdf
Kellen Holowicki I'm writing an Extended Essay on this very topic; in a nutshell, how The Wizard of Oz has allusions to US socioeconomic issues. I'm glad I'm not the only one!
This is seriously one of my favorite era's of American history. I spent my senior year with my interdisciplinary party hat on discussing the Art, Economics, and Social history (three different seminars!) of this era, so it was great to touch on the politics that I didn't quite get to delve into. Plus I absolutely LOVE political cartoons! Great episode, one of my favorites.
A note on the idea of interdisciplinarity: it's valuable to approach history with the idea of being interdisciplinary and taking into account many different approaches and perspectives. But let's be honest, how many history students are afraid of science and mathematics and never take those perspectives into account when they approach topics in history? Instead, what I hear around the tables in my history department at my university are culture, gender, and post-colonial narratives being repeatedly uttered in history classes where the students believe that economic and political history are too old fashioned and a global approach (much like John's) is considered too superficial. I totally disagree with a lot of the culture, gender, and post-colonial history students and I take a global approach to history, with a particular interest in economic and ecological history, but I'm considered naive among many of my peers. All this to say, interdisciplinary approaches are good but history students tend to use interdisciplinaritary as a shield to hide behind some other disciplines (anthropology, sociology, culture studies, gender/women's studies) while shooting down others (economics, science, political studies). In essence, the pro-interdisciplinary team tends to paint the rest of us as the naive idiots who don't care about other approaches when we do just in different ways.
How can You say that the peoples party achieved a government controlled currency by the federal banking system. It's a private bank, There is nothing federal of government about it.
Government doesn't control currency. the Fed is a company owned by stock holders. says so right on their website. www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/structure-federal-reserve-system.htm. See the part were it says the 12 branches are incorporated. they are companies not an agency. Government merely appoints 5 out of twelve members of one of its councils. that's why Ben Bernanke had to go to congress to explain what they did. whole thing is wacky.

I don't live in US, but I LOVE history. And I have one question: what the hell is an AP test?
+孙明亮 It is a test for Advanced Placement classes. They are sponsered by "The College Board" and are considered the highest level of classes in American high schools. At the end of the class you take a test to determine how well you did in the class.
You also earn college credit if you score high enough. Essentially you're taking a college class in high school.
AP test stands for Armor-Piercing, and if you pay attention to American News you know how well Armor-Piercing ammunition does in the classrooms

I like the reference to The Outsiders. "Stay gold Ponyboy... uhhh, I mean America."

That is true. It's probably one of my all time favorite books. But on the note of Crash Course, thanks for refreshing my memory on APUSH for my midterm.
Same. When I first read it with my class, I wasn't too interested. But I went back a while later and was absorbed.
It was very interesting. I feel like the movie adaptation was one of the few book-movie renditions that didn't butcher the book.
